“I Gave You Power” is the 4th track off of Nas 1996 album “It Was Written”. Although this song isn’t technically a single, it is one of the more well known tracks off of “It Was Written”. This is one of the best songs to exemplify just how well …

Steal this Album! Is unfortunately my least favorite of the System of a Down albums, but that doesn’t make it a bad album; it’s still a fairly good album, because even when System of a Down is at their worst, they’re still fairly good.
The first is Chic’n Stu which …

This little beauty can be your resident musician’s best friend. My husband purchased this for himself recently when he bought a new guitar. At the cost of $185.00 USD, it was still more inexpensive than other ones of the same type.
This pedal does it all! You will have to …

A Manatee Dance is a song by Animal Collective which is the opening track to their second album, Danse Manatee. Opening up with a synthesized introduction, a listener is introduced to the noise-type of music that was somewhat prominent throughout Animal Collective’s debut record, Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve …

I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …

Tiny Dancer by Elton John is a beautiful song to which every time I listen to it the song still amazes me how soft and beautiful the words are sung. This guy has an awesome voice which lures me to sleep almost every night because that’s how much I …

This 1998 follow up to the successful 1996 album Antichrist Superstar features controversial album art depicting Marilyn Manson in a body suit with fake breasts, and glowing red eyes. Marilyn Manson started a rumor that he got breast implants, and people ate the rumor up. This may be my …

Road House was an action adventure film from the late 1980’s which starred Patrick Swayze as a philosophical bouncer named Dalton. This review focuses on the musical soundtrack for this Zen-like movie.
I’ll start with my favorite tracks, which naturally are the two songs which Swayze sings. Both …

Released in November of 2005 (6 months after Mezmerize)as the second part of a two disc album recorded in the same studio sessions, the artwork like Mezmerize was painted by Daron’s father to give the album an abstract look and feel. The Digipak cardboard case fits into Mezmerize to …

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Britney Spears. I think she is an extremely talented performer who is misunderstood by so many people. Her recent video for the hit song “Three” ranks pretty high up there in my favorite Britney Spears music video. For …

Marooned is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their album The Division Bell. The first thing I should mention about this song is that it is an instrumental where David Gilmour pretty much leads the tracks, so if you’re not one for guitar solos then this probably …

Avril Lavigne has been in the music industry for quite a while now. I remember when her first hit single —˜Complicated’ was released and I can also remember singing along to it! I heard it on the radio today and it brought this album to the front of my mind …

Right Back is a song by Sublime and is the fourteenth song on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a pretty standard reggae rhythm, Right Back unfortunately seems to lose the unique sound that I thought Sublime achieved with the previous song on the record, …

The Call Of Ktulu, the first instrumental by Metallica, is the second track on Ride The Lightning where I feel Metallica truly prove that they’re a lot more than simply a thrash band, these musicians certainly knew what they were doing (The first song I felt this with was …

One of my most anticipated album release this year is probably Halsey’s “BADLANDS”. Just so you guys know, BADLANDS is a concept album that talks about the bad sides of a human being, hence the title.
Halsey (real name Ashley) is an up and coming artist, she’s mostly alternative …

New Potato Caboose is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record Anthem Of The Sun. The track starts off with a mellow organ line followed by a clean guitar riff and a faint bass line as well. The track starts off fairly quietly before further …

tracks, which has a fast tempo, which is characteristic …

So, the buzz about this new album is certainly flowing around the heavy metal landscape as anticipation rises to near manic status. I was blessed with an advance copy of this album to have a look at and i must say that i am pretty underwhelmed by the whole …

To be perfectly honest, I am not that great a singer. While I have done some performances mostly it was just in church. However dispite this fact one of my favorite artists to sing along with is Carrie Underwood. That was why I bought her album “Carnival Ride”. It …

Soldier Side Intro is the opening track of System Of A Down’s album Mezmerize, the first half of their double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Just as some background information, Mezmerize starts off with the track Soldier Side Intro while Hypnotize ends with the track Soldier Side so this is one of …

This Blues Breakers With Eric Clapton by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers is another of my favorite blues sounds and songs.
It proudly belongs to me, which I bought for around $100, and although this be a bit outdated to have, it still definitely rocks. For all of those …

I am so in love with this song, titled Dayang Nurfaizah - Still You Leave. The title is also known as ‘Kau Pergi Jua’. This song is actually a cover version of another veteran singer and Dayang Nurfaizah is sort of Malaysia’s answer to Beyonce. And she …

If You See Her, Say Hello is a track from Bob Dylan’s album Blood On The Tracks and certainly one of the songs on that record which I believe does a good job of conveying quite a bit of emotion and power behind both Dylan’s lyrics and vocals. I …

Sometimes i have a preconceived rough idea on what an album is going to sound like before i listen to it. I have found that without bragging i am right more often than not. The problem with doing this though, is that when i build an album up in …

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield is a song about a girl trying to write a story about her life but she can’t seem to get the words down on paper about her life. This song is so poetic that it inspires me to write poetry every time I here this …

Lady Gaga’s song, Monster is a single of her new album, The Fame Monster. I love this song so much. I think I literally listen to it at least six times a day. It’s a song about a Monster, or a guy who she knows is a bad boy …

Terrible Lie is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine. The track starts off with a dark sounding synthesizer and drum part, quite characteristic of this album to be honest. A heavy yet simple guitar part comes in which Reznor sings …

I hate Justin Timberlake. He is flat out boastful, arrogant and an ass. His songs are not that good as well. I think the only reason that Justin Timberlake made it through as an artist is the fact that the bosses in the NSYNC’s management group decided that they …

Black Crow Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Unlike a lot of Dylan’s earlier works, this track isn’t driven primarily by an acoustic guitar and Dylan’s voice, it’s driven by a piano and Dylan’s voice. Although this may not seem …

As one of the most popular country music songs between the years 2003 and 2005, the song ‘Sweet Southern Comfort’ by the first ever ‘Nashville Star’ winner Buddy Jewell is one that I will never be able to shake from my mind.
This wonderfully written song follows country music …

A class track from Eminem, as much for it’s simplicity again but it’s cool. When he refers to the shock of someone seeing a white person I think it sums up the feeling of surprise that people had when this great rapper turned up on the world scene and …

Grave Plott is a newly formed rap group from Kansas consisting of 2 horrorcore MCs: Killa C and Liquid Assassin. Their debut album was released in 2008, but only now I had the time and curiosity to listen it. The boys are signed to Strange Music, Tech N9ne’s label, …

I received a “Lost Highway” cd by Bon Jovi for an early birthday present. I am a Bon Jovi fan from way back around when they first came out, I was in my teens.
I am aware this CD has been out since 2007, yet I have not got …

This song maybe not be one of the newest songs out there, but it has a lasting legacy. I heard this song at a younger age, liked it, but really didn’t understand what it was saying, I liked the tune. Ten years later I listen to this song again …

(Music From) The Elder
This LP would be notable for three things:
1.) It was KISS’ return to the realm of a concept album
2.) It would be Ace’s last album with the band for 16 years as he quit/was fired soon after.
3.) The album bombed so bad it was KISS’ worst …

We open in a R. Kelly’s bathroom inside his mansion to a close-up of him trimming his beard, then he’s sipping a drink while leaving his hair half-braided and half afro as he sits around a pool in his drawers and sings …

First time I hear this song, it’s sounds so weird to me, like the kids who has weird vocal sing this song. But, after I listen it more and more, I realize that I dance with this song. I enjoy it when it’s played.
‘Tokyo Drift’ from is original …

Backstreet Boys was a really successful musical group during the mid 90’s. The came to the scene at the absolutely right time, when boy bands were really popular. Previously, the contemporary boy bands that were out there were mainly European. When Backstreet Boys came to the scene, they have …

The limits a man would go for a woman is incredible these days. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a man who would do anything for them? The man in this song is so dedicated to his woman that he would go bankrupt for her, quit a job so …

Quite honestly, I have no idea who Geoff Love is, but I assume he’s a band leader somewhere in the world. I had to get this CD, though, because it’s one of a handful I know of that includes the theme music to my all-time favorite western TV …

The song ‘Sunshine’ is a simple sort of song performed by John Denver. It has a very good melody that makes you want to sing along. It reminds me of camping along side of a lake and waking to the sun rising over the water. Then when it rises …

(Walkin’ Thru The) Sleepy City is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Metamorphosis. The song comes off with a sweeping clean guitar riff before the vocals come in, abruptly at that, singing in a pretty generic vocal melody. The song has somewhat of a …

Another talented person in my eyes would be Tracy Chapman. You just need to listen to Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman to know that she is a real singer and the real deal. Most of her songs are about life and love in general and sometimes about …

Today I will be speaking about a west coast classic album. And that is the Thug Lords album recorded by Yuk Mouth and C-bo. I must say that I love everything about this great album. The beats the lyrics and flows are all great. I think C Bo and Yukmouth …
